Emissary caches award 4-10 in 7.3.2. Reports on Twitter show players are looting between 25 and 42 on the PTR from a few caches:

Blizzard

Few additional details on the new Legendary token:

We've just pushed a hotfix live that makes Essência do Despertars drop for everyone, regardless of whether you're on the quest or not.

We'll also be dramatically increasing both the number of Essência do Despertars required to purchase tokens (Essência de Titã Purificada) and the rate at which you gain them in Patch 7.3.5. The overall time investment needed to purchase a token will stay roughly the same, but this will minimize the benefits of stockpiling Essência do Despertars ahead of time.

Note: Emissary bags earned prior to the release of 7.3.5 will still give pre-7.3.5 numbers of Essência do Despertars. There is no benefit to saving Emissary bags until after the patch.

We also plan to add Essência do Despertars to your first Battleground win of the day in 7.3.5. The tokens are bind on pickup because we don't want to overly encourage players to farm Essência do Despertars on alt characters in order to feed Legendary items to their mains. However, if you purchase and use a token on a character that already has all of the available legendaries for their class, you will be given a random BoA token for another class.

Blizzard

Today's PTR update includes a new method for acquiring Legendary items: the Purified Titan Essence. This item can be purchased from Arcanomancer Vridiel.

When used, the Purified Titan Essence will immediately grant a Legion Legendary item appropriate for your specialization. Note that this item is bind on pickup, and that the Legendary item granted by the Purified Titan Essence does not affect your chance to earn a Legendary through other methods.

At the moment a full week's worth of content is 174ish essences, which is enough to upgrade 3 legendaries, so if the rate of acquisition is roughly the same you would be getting 900+ essences a week, based on the new prices which means you would be able to basically buy a legendary you dont have every 2 weeks. Depending how hard you went with farming essences each week.

Will suck for the people who are just short of 50 essence before patch day to get their upgrade token.

So this changes basically nothing? It's just bumping the numbers up 6 times, with no change in how much you earn relative to cost. About 8 essences off of the old cost using the old values, not much.

I can imagine them lizard people who run these sort of things sitting in their dark conference room with a bright spotlight illuminating the table, whilst keeping the faces of the lizards faded, saying something like:"Our retarded Legion legendary system has diminished our subscriber numbers by thousands, if not millions, but a few nerds loyal players remain! So how do we &@!# them this time?"

it stops people from farming enough essence to get multiple legos on patch day

nobody gets $%^&ed it just prevent people to prefarm alot and buy close to 2 right away, very smart move increasing the price but also the drop rate when patch hits leaves out the need to reset those you got leftover/prefarmed.

No you might need more but you drop alot more also so in the end there almost no difference.

Daily Heroic went from 5 essences on live to 30 essences on PTR.Weekly M+ chest went from 20 essences on live to 120 essences on PTR.

I'm confused about regular legendary chance drops. Are those still possible after this buying system is implemented, or do possible/chance drops and the bad luck protection system for leggo's go away? If someone has seen a blue post on this, please point me in the right direction. Appreciate it, thanks!

Hey Blizzard here is a brilliant idea, HOW ABOUT LET US FARM THEM UP AHEAD OF TIME... ya know instead of kicking us in the balls every time. You really seem to hate active players who want to save up for things...

Think you missed the point. You're correct overall, but assume someone has 45 out of 50 essences right before patch day. One Emissary or heroic will do... but after patch they need to do 8 or 9 more because they now have only 45 out of 300.

I don't see the harm in people who farm ahead of time? Its so late it doesn't really make a difference..

Hey Perc, can you confirm that the quest still requires 50 essences? Because they already said anyone who’s already on the quest will be able to turn it in after the patch, they just won’t be able to pick it up again, and will have to use the vendor instead from then on. If that’s the case it means that people who have the quest already will just get a free upgrade token the day of the patch if they were like 1/50 when realms went down, but if they make the quest require 300 too then it means anyone who was 49/50 when realms go down is suddenly 49/300 which screws them over.

This is so rip, I'm done with Legion then. People from my guild went away, my logs are all legendary, so I dont have reason to play Legion anymore. I really dont know why it is so expensive now at the end of expac, that was chance to try my rogue with bis legendary combo, but I dont want farm 2 weeks on one(+one) legendary. This option should come 6 months earlier.
